Cars set on fire in Vancouver following loss
VANCOUVER, British Columbia Later, looters smashed windows and ran inside department stores.
"We have a small number of hooligans on the streets of Vancouver causing problems," Vancouver Mayor Gregor Robertson said. "It's absolutely disgraceful and shameful and by no means represents the city of Vancouver. ... We have had an extraordinary run in the playoff, great celebration. What's happened tonight is despicable."
Police said they had reports of four stabbings, though spokeswoman Const. Jana McGuinness said she couldn't confirm them. Officers from around the region flooded into downtown, and Robertson said things were getting under control, but the images and atmosphere that persisted late into the night suggested otherwise.
It took about four hours before downtown quieted again. While Robertson said there had been no fatalities, ambulances appeared to be having trouble getting inside the zone to help the injured. TV images showed at least one woman mopping blood from her forehead.
"You don't ever hope for a situation like this," McGuinness said. "You celebrate the good times and you prepare for the bad times and that's exactly what we've done. Unfortunately, the tables have turned tonight. ... We will have to sit down and evaluate exactly what happened here. It's going to be a black mark for a very, very long time."
At a Bay store, looters were seen grabbing T-shirts and anything else they could get their hands on. Young women were seen escaping with MAC cosmetics, with one carrying out part of a mannequin. The landmark building was filling with smoke as people, their faces covered in bandannas, continued the violence.
The Bay became a target, with windows smashed to allow looters to get to the expensive Coach and Burberry purses. Merchandise went flying into the street. Women rampaged through the main floor makeup department, tossing each other products and squealing in delight.
Another fire erupted nearby in an area littered with abandoned Canucks memorabilia and hand-lettered signs expressing support for the team.
The violence appeared to start when fans set fire to a stuffed bear decorated to symbolize the Bruins. Others sang a drunken tune as they danced on an overturned vehicle.
"It's terrible," Canucks captain Henrik Sedin said, shaking his head. "This city and province has a lot to be proud of, the team we have and the guys we have in here. It's too bad."
The looters turned their attention next on a Future Shop store a few blocks away, smashing windows and flooding up the stairs to the second-floor store, only to turn around quickly. One witness said police were at the top of the stairs.
Sears and Chapters stores were also looted, their glass fronts smashed. For many, the ugly chaos made the Cup loss an afterthought.
"What I've seen is a complete disgrace," said Beth Hope, 28, who is originally from England but has lived in Vancouver for two years. "I'm a Canucks fan, but my jersey's in my bag. I'm ashamed to be a fan right now."
Hope said she saw a parkade on fire and cars ablaze. "It's insane, it's absolutely insane," she said. "What's the point? Our team lost. Why destroy your own city? I'm afraid."
NBA star Steve Nash, from nearby Victoria and the brother-in-law of Canucks forward Manny Malhotra, sent a Twitter message imploring the fans to stop the violence. "We're a great city and have a lot of class. Our team is great and our championship will come. Soon," Nash wrote.
Robertson praised the police and firefighters and asked people to stay away from the central downtown area.
"It is extremely disappointing to see the situation in downtown Vancouver turn violent after tonight's Stanley Cup game," Robertson said. "Vancouver is a world-class city and it is embarrassing and shameful to see the type of violence and disorder we've seen tonight.
"The vast majority of people who were in the downtown tonight were there to enjoy the game in a peaceful and respectful manner. It is unfortunate that a small number of people intent on criminal activity have turned pockets of the downtown into areas involving destruction of property and confrontations with police."
Tear gas mingled with the stench of acrid smoke and stale beer as riot police, truncheons drawn, moved in to quell the violence, pushing crowds away from the burning cars.
Later, police cars also were set on fire. At one point, police were using flash-bangs -- grenades that are designed to distract and disorient, rather than injure -- to try to break up the mob.
"This isn't what the Canucks are about," said Chad McMillan, 31, a Vancouver resident and Canucks fan. "This isn't what their fans are about. This isn't what this city is about."
Flames leaped from at least two flipped vehicles in the middle of trash-strewn streets, filling the downtown core with heavy black smoke in the moments immediately following the game.
"I heard a loud noise and turned and there was a car being stomped on by a bunch of guys," 18-year-old witness Brandon Sinclair said about the first few moments of violence.
"A bunch of guys started rocking it, then they flipped it over and five minutes later it was on fire and then they flipped another one. It was just out of control."
Bright orange flames were seen shooting nearly 10 yards into the air as bystanders tossed firecrackers.
Television images showed a large fire burning inside a parking garage, but it wasn't clear what was ablaze.
A small group of rioters appeared to be at the heart of the action reminiscent of a similar scene that erupted in the city in 1994 following the Canucks' Game 7 loss to the New York Rangers. McGuinness said those responsible for this latest damage had an average age of 22 or 23 and were downtown specifically to wreak mayhem, not to watch hockey.
"They've embarrassed our city and taken away that pride that we had," she said.
For two weeks, the city hosted thousands of fans in areas set aside with gigantic screens for watching the games as the Canucks progressed through the playoffs. Police officers high-fived passers-by, and spectators were well-behaved, win or lose.
Game 7 was different.
McGuinness said police aren't blaming alcohol consumption -- there was more during Game 5 on Friday night. But she also bristled at the notion that the force's so-called meet-and-greet strategy was misguided.
"I would completely disagree that there is complacency," she said. "We are very aware in a crowd situation that things can change. We watch for those flashpoints in a crowd."
When flames erupted from an exploding car, bystanders ducked out of fear. Fans who were trying simply to get out of the danger zone found their visibility reduced by the thick black smoke.
About an hour after the game, some bold troublemakers started hurling garbage and bottles at police officers, who deflected the debris with riot shields. Protesters who rushed the police line were quickly subdued with blows from a truncheon.
Some protesters held what looked like pipes or hockey sticks over their heads as they jeered at officers. Newspaper boxes were wrenched off the sidewalk and hurled through store windows. Portable toilets were tipped as the stifling black smoke spread through the city's core.
While some members of the crowd expressed dismay that the police didn't take a more aggressive approach to the early vandalism, others said officers were heavy-handed.
"There's people who've been coming through the crowds suffering from tear gas," said 26-year-old Amy Zevick. "I'm seriously disappointed in the city of Vancouver and the country of Canada because it makes me feel the insecurity I read about in other parts of the world. I don't think it's OK to loot, but I also don't think it's OK to over-police and assume that every person is guilty."
Some seemed to revel in the rampage, recording the vandalism on cell phones and video cameras. A few congratulated those who tried to attack police, and others erupted with cheers every time something was damaged.
At least two young men covered in soot reported being roughed up by the police, but they weren't arrested. Rivers of poured-out alcohol, broken glass and trash made navigating the streets treacherous.
Fans wandered amid the chaos, some with bandanas or T-shirts pulled over their faces -- either to hide their faces from police and TV cameras or to guard against the smoke, or both.
"What is most disappointing and disturbing is that we have spectators who will not go home," B.C. Solicitor General Shirley Bond said. "We need everyone to pay attention, we need them to leave the downtown and they need to stop treating this as a spectator sport. This is a dangerous situation where people need to go home."

Rohingya crisis: Civilians 'maimed by landmines'
duration 12 September 2017
image captionRoshida Haque says her 15-year-old son is unlikely to survive
The BBC has spoken to Rohingya Muslims maimed after apparently stepping on landmines as they fled Myanmar (Burma).
A boy of 15 being treated in Bangladesh lost both legs while a woman at the same hospital said she had trodden on a landmine after being fired on.
The area was mined in the 1990s but Bangladeshi sources say Myanmar's army recently planted new mines - an allegation denied by Myanmar officials.
More than 300,000 Rohingya have fled a brutal security crackdown in Myanmar.
On Monday UN human rights chief Zeid Raad al-Hussein said that a "cruel military operation" was taking place, calling it "a textbook example of ethnic cleansing".
What sparked latest violence in Rakhine?
The Rohingya, a stateless mostly Muslim minority in Buddhist-majority Rakhine, have long experienced persecution in Myanmar, which says they are illegal immigrants.
Bangladesh's Prime Minister, Sheikh Hasina, is due to visit one of her country's main refugee camps for Rohingya. She said earlier that Myanmar had to solve a problem of its own making.
The White House has called on Myanmar to respect the rule of law and end the displacement of civilians.
Aung San Suu Kyi, Myanmar's de facto leader, is facing mounting criticism for failing to protect the Rohingya.
'Suffering so much'
On Sunday the human rights group Amnesty International accused the authorities of laying landmines at border crossings used by fleeing Rohingya.
Bangladeshi government sources made the same allegation speaking to Reuters news agency last week.
media captionAzizu Haque lost his legs in a blast, as Reeta Chakrabarti reports
The hospital visited by the BBC has seen an influx of people with landmine injuries, doctors say.
The 15-year-old boy, Azizu Haque, arrived with his legs destroyed. His brother, in another hospital, suffered the same fate, his mother says.
"Their injuries are so bad it's as if they are dead," she told the BBC. "It's better that Allah [God] takes them, they are suffering so much."
media captionWho is burning down Rohingya villages?
The injured woman, Sabequr Nahar, says she fled Myanmar because the military had been targeting her community, and she was crossing the border with her three sons when she stepped on a landmine.
"We'd been fired on, shot at, and they planted mines," the 50-year-old said.
Seeing through the official story
Tales of horror from those who fled
Horrific injuries - by Reeta Chakrabarti, BBC News, Bangladesh
Azizu Haque's body has been devastated by a blast, his legs gone, and parts of his torso also injured. His doctor is visibly emotional when he talks of trying to save him - he doesn't expect to be successful. Azizu has a rare blood type, and the hospital has no blood bank, and has run out of donors.
Next door in the women's ward, Sabequr Nahar is a tiny, exhausted figure. She says she crossed the Myanmar border behind her three sons - they got through unscathed.
It is unclear who laid the traps that caused these injuries - and when - but the condition of these people nevertheless raises questions about the Myanmar government's version of events.
How the did the violence start?
The violence began on 25 August when Rohingya militants attacked police posts in the northern state of Rakhine, killing 12 security personnel.
The attacks triggered a vast security operation that has drawn international criticism.
Myanmar conflict: The view from Yangon
Rohingya who have fled Myanmar say villages have been burned and civilians attacked in a brutal campaign to drive them out.
The UN Security Council said it was looking to meet on Wednesday to discuss the violence after Sweden and the UK requested a closed-door meeting on the "deteriorating situation" in Rakhine state.
media captionAid agencies say Rohingya refugees from Myanmar are in desperate need of aid
Bangladesh is already host to hundreds of thousands of Rohingya who have fled previous outbreaks of violence in Rakhine.
Existing refugee camps are full and the new arrivals are sleeping rough in whatever space they can find, reports say.
The Rohingya are extremely unpopular inside Myanmar. On Sunday, police fired rubber bullets to break up a mob attacking the home of a Muslim butcher in Magway region in central Myanmar. One protester was quoted by AFP news agency saying it was a response to events in Rakhine.
media captionMyanmar: Who are the Rohingya?
How much pressure is there on Suu Kyi to speak out?
Five Nobel peace Laureates have accused her of showing "indifference" to the Rohingya's plight.
In an open letter issued by the Nobel Women's Initiative, they say Ms Suu Kyi has a "personal and moral responsibility to uphold and defend the rights" of Myanmar's citizens.
The letter is signed by Mairead Maguire, Jody Williams, Shirin Ebadi, Leymah Gbowee and Tawakkol Karman, who were awarded the Nobel peace prize between 1976 and 2011.
"How many Rohingya have to die; how many Rohingya women will be raped; how many communities will be razed before you raise your voice in defense of those who have no voice?," they ask in the letter.

Alumnae pair up to help healthcare facilities stay afloat during the pandemic and beyond
By Bob Cunningham
Colleagues Susan Marsiglia Gray, MPH '01, and Tasha Akitobi, MPH '05, share so much common ground, they practically read each other's minds.
That comes in handy because their federal government workplace, the Provider Relief Bureau, is responsible for $200 billion in COVID relief funding. While their partnership is somewhat new—with only about 18 months of being on the job together—their paths to public health have created deep familiarity.
Both are Michiganders, with Gray growing up in Grand Rapids and Akitobi in Lansing. Each also received a bachelor's degree from Michigan State University before earning a Master of Public Health in Health Behavior and Health Education from the University of Michigan School of Public Health.
The Provider Relief Bureau is a division of the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA), located within the US Department of Health and Human Services in Rockville, Maryland. HRSA is the primary federal agency for improving access to healthcare services for people who are uninsured, isolated or medically vulnerable.
Gray is the division director and Akitobi the deputy director. According to Gray, because they share core values acquired from Michigan Public Health and other commonalities, they work better together.
"Some of the core values from the School of Public Health that come to mind are collaboration and a focus on health equity," Gray said. "I think because we both have those as core values, it's made it easy for us to seamlessly co-lead."
"The fact that both of us are from Michigan— both being U of M grads—there's a lot of things that I don't have to explain to Susan, even in terms of language I use," Akitobi said.
Helping healthcare providers during a pandemic
In their roles, Gray and Akitobi are responsible for the policy development, program operations and communications for more than $200 billion in COVID-19 relief funding directed to healthcare providers and facilities across the nation. That includes both direct provider payments for healthcare-related expenses and lost revenues due to COVID-19 and claims reimbursement to healthcare providers that issue COVID-19 testing, treatment and vaccination to the uninsured.
The interdisciplinary core that Gray received at Michigan Public Health still resonates with her in today's workplace.
"Healthcare providers and hospitals were struggling due to increased expenditures for COVID like needing more PPE (personal protective equipment) and to develop facilities that had better air circulation to help fight the virus," Gray said. "There also were reduced revenues because of the loss of income from elective procedures, and then particular providers such as dentists or behavioral healthcare providers were closed for extended periods of time."
In the Provider Relief Bureau, in general, Gray and Akitobi manage four broad, umbrella programs. The first and biggest is the $178 billion Provider Relief Fund that offers direct payments to healthcare providers for healthcare-related expenses and lost revenues attributable to COVID.
"We have a similar, but smaller $8.5 billion American Rescue Plan Act Rural Payments Program, which also provides direct payments to providers—but this is specifically for those who serve rural beneficiaries. And then we also manage two claims reimbursement programs."
Their largest is the Uninsured Program, which dispenses claims reimbursement directly to healthcare providers for COVID-19 testing treatment and vaccination of the uninsured, and then a smaller program that covers vaccination administration to providers for individuals who are underinsured.
Both colleagues agreed that it can be difficult knowing if the program's efforts have made a difference in people's lives. Sometimes, numbers on a spreadsheet only tell part of the story.
"I think it's really gratifying, especially because the day-to-day can feel like a slog," Gray said. "For example, we were working with a communications contractor who was developing some provider testimonials. They interviewed some providers that had received Provider Relief Fund money, and we're asking them what kind of impact that had on them. One of the providers who was interviewed is tearing up as he's describing the impact. He said, 'This allowed me to stay open. This allowed me to continue to pay my staff.' I think it's easy to lose sight of that in the day-to-day, but this program really allowed the healthcare system in this country to stay afloat."
Akitobi said public health might benefit from being in the spotlight during the COVID-19 global pandemic.
"I recently went for a doctor's appointment and was talking to my physician, and I told him what I do for a living," Akitobi said. "He was like, 'Oh my gosh, we actually got that money. Thank you so much.' It's been amazing to hear directly from people who've been impacted by this program and who've explicitly told us, 'If this was not here, we would not be here.'"

The Michigan connection
Gray and Akitobi have been working together since April 2021, but it seems longer to them—in a good way.
"We always joke that in the Provider Relief Bureau, a year equals 10 years because things have been moving so fast and furiously," Gray said.
The Michigan duo discovered their many connections during the interview process.
"When Susan interviewed me and saw my resume, she saw that we both went to U of M, and discovered it during our interview, which was a nice surprise," Akitobi said.
"I think even during the interview, we were chatting a little bit about professors we had in common when we were at Michigan Public Health," Gray said.
Those professors and that similar training contributed to their sense of common core values.
"We both have kind of that community-based participatory research background, where a lot of those core values include seeing those who you are working for in terms of target populations as experts in their own health—really bringing that perspective to the work is definitely something that I think we have in common," Akitobi said.
"When I first saw Tasha's resume," Gray said, "in addition to seeing that she had her MPH in Health Behavior and Health Education from Michigan, we both had a specialization in our undergrad at Michigan State."
"Health and humanities," Akitobi said.
"Right, health and humanities," Gray said.
"The exact same specialization," Akitobi said.
It's almost like they were destined to work together.
"Exactly," Gray said.
Finding their passion for Michigan Public Health
While working toward her human biology undergraduate degree, Akitobi worked as an adolescent health educator.
"I think that's where I got the public health itch, which has carried me throughout my career," she said. "I've only worked in public health, serving underserved communities, whether it be maternal and child health—and I know Susan also has that background—or even here in our own Provider Relief Bureau efforts."
Gray said she had a similar experience.
"I initially went into my undergrad thinking I wanted to do medicine," she said. "I know a lot of folks who end up in public health start there. I did an internship when I was an undergrad at the Michigan Public Health Institute and worked on a statewide child mortality prevention program. I realized there that I had more of an interest in the public health field and doing things that could affect health on a broader population scale vs. an individual patient scale."
Akitobi wanted to stay near home for graduate school, but she also wanted one that provided a lot of on-the-ground collaboration work with communities—something she knew the University of Michigan was known for.
One of the great things about public health, Akitobi said, is that it is so broad that people with varying interests can find a little niche that really brings a level of excitement to their regular work.
"I love data, but I also love programming," she said. "I love the community-based aspect of public health—the idea that to truly help support someone toward achieving that optimal health and well-being, you need to look at them as the experts in their own lives and even in their care and how they function in their community. The holistic approach that public health really pushes in terms of health and well-being of communities is something that I'm always interested in. Again, just the wide variety from epidemiology to the healthcare law, to the community engagement and organization, those are the things that excite me about public health."
That interdisciplinary core that Gray received at Michigan Public Health still resonates with her in today's workplace.
"One of the things I most appreciate is no matter what your concentration was, everybody who got an MPH was required to have classes in epidemiology, biostatistics, and health management and policy," she said. "Both of us use those skills we learned in those classes every day, not only just the Health Behavior Health Education specialization we both have, but all those interdisciplinary skills.
"I think what drew me to public health overall was its focus on social determinants of health. What are all the things that affect the health of populations, and what can we do to change those things to bring about better health for populations overall? I was drawn to the idea of being able to make an impact for broader populations, and public health helps us do that."
Akitobi wanted to strengthen her skills so she could continue to work within schools and communities as a peer health educator.
"Getting my master's degree and getting that formal training allowed me to actually conduct various health education seminars and develop programming—something I really needed if I was going to continue to do that work," she said. "Once I got to Michigan Public Health, I just loved it because it was so well-rounded. It wasn't just health education and here are some theories. It was here is what you need to develop and run a program— all the things you need to be mindful of in management, budgeting, policy and so on. This approach was one of the things that drew me to the behavioral health education specialization."
"One of the great things about the HBHE concentration was the focus on program management, program evaluation, survey design—a lot of the things that I know have been helpful to me throughout my federal career," Gray said.
Both agreed that if they could do it all over again, they would have taken more biostatistics classes.
"That is one thing I have used more than I ever thought I would use," Gray said.
Public health impacting people's lives
When Gray and Akitobi were in Ann Arbor, being in a role that helped give a $200 billion life preserver to the healthcare industry never even entered their thoughts.
"No, not all," Akitobi said. "All of this is unprecedented: from a pandemic on this scale with this impact and then this influx of dollars into the healthcare system. I don't think we ever had any idea when we were both at U of M that at this point in our lives we would be a part of something like this. There's no way we could've imagined it."
It all comes down to health equity and access, values at the core of Michigan Public Health.
"I think the money had an even greater impact on rural and safety net providers, which were operating on even thinner margins," Gray said. "They would definitely have gone out of business had it not been for this influx of money. Then there would've been all those individuals those businesses serve who would not have had access to healthcare. That part is particularly gratifying."
Even though it took a pandemic to shine the light on the importance of public health, it could pay dividends for the future, Akitobi said.
"I think that people see the value and that there's even going to be more of a need and a desire to have more people be public health professionals and be able to do something like this," she said. "It's wide open for folks who are currently in their public health studies to eventually get this opportunity to do something on this scale."
Gray agreed, pointing prospective students to Michigan Public Health, knowing they will be in good hands.
"I know that for students at the University of Michigan School of Public Health—because of its focus on interdisciplinary-based requirements on collaboration and the importance of health equity—the skills they're learning and the values that they're gleaning as part of their program are needed and will always be needed. I think in many ways they are more appreciated now as a result of the pandemic." - Susan Marsiglia Gray
"I think the population at large—because of the COVID-19 pandemic—has become more aware of what public health is and why we need it and why it needs to be better funded," she said.
"I know that for students at the University of Michigan School of Public Health—because of its focus on interdisciplinary-based requirements on collaboration and the importance of health equity—the skills they're learning and the values that they're gleaning as part of their program are needed and will always be needed. I think in many ways they are more appreciated now as a result of the pandemic."

Seth Eugene Meek
HIDDEN ERROR: Usage of "siblings" is not recognized
Robert Rihmeek Williams (born May 6, 1987), better known by his stage name Meek Mill, is an American hip hop recording artist from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. He was briefly signed to Atlanta-based record label Grand Hustle, owned by record executive and fellow American rapper T.I.. In February 2011, after leaving Grand Hustle, Mill signed a record deal with fellow American rapper Rick Ross' Miami-based Maybach Music Group (MMG) imprint.
Mill's debut studio album, Dreams and Nightmares, was released in 2012, under MMG and Warner Bros. Records. The album, preceded by the single "Young & Gettin' It", debuted at number two on the U.S. Billboard 200.

Right Now! is a 1966 studio album by Mel Tormé. Columbia followed up Tormé's 1965 album of standards with "an obvious bid to sell records by putting Tormé's voice on pre-sold hits of the mid-'60s." "The Velvet Fog's" descent on contemporary middle-of-the-road top-40 melodies from Paul Simon and the Bacharach-David catalogue leads some to emphasize the commercialism of the project and file this period of Tormé's career in the lounge music section of records stores, as evidenced by his appearances on compilations like the Ultra Lounge series. However, music critic Will Friedwald makes a strong case that the work of Tormé and arranger Mort Garson elevated the project above "an album of straight "covers"."
In 1997, Right Now! was treated to a CD reissue, with previously unreleased bonus tracks and liners notes.
"Comin' Home Baby" (Bob Dorough, Ben Tucker) – 3:21
"Homeward Bound" (Paul Simon) – 2:33
"My Little Red Book" (Burt Bacharach, Hal David) – 2:40

Right Now! is one of Little Richard's lesser-known albums, released without much publicity on the United Records label. Despite this, the songs contained some of Richard's stronger material from his 70s period, including "Chain Chain Chain", more commonly known under the title "Chain of Fools."
Right Now! was recorded in January 1973 possibly in Muscle Shoals Sound Studio, Alabama, and issued with no publicity as a low-budget LP. Richard himself recalled that: We were about to start a tour and we needed some money. So Robert "Bumps" Blackwell and me got a deal for one album with an advance of ten thousand dollars from Kent Modern. We went into the studio and did it in one night. I did material we had worked out together. I prefer recording at night, my voice is in better shape then.
"In the Name" - 3:15
"Mississippi" - 2:50
"Chains of Love" - 8:22
"Don't You Know I" - 3:07
"Geraldine Jones" - 6:21
"Dock of the Bay" - 2:58
"Chain Chain Chain" - 4:22

Seth Eugene Meek (April 1, 1859, Hicksville, Ohio – July 6, 1914, Chicago) was an American ichthyologist at the Field Museum of Natural History in Chicago. He was the first compiler of a book on Mexican freshwater fishes. Together with his assistant, Samuel F. Hildebrand, he produced the first book on the freshwater fishes of Panama.
He often collaborated with Charles H. Gilbert, and in 1884 on a collecting trip through the Ozarks, they discovered a new species, Etheostoma nianguae, which only lives in the Osage River basin. Also with them on that excursion was David Starr Jordan, considered the father of modern ichthyology.
After the Ozarks trip, Meek accepted the post of professor of biology and geology at Arkansas Industrial University (now the University of Arkansas).
The American halfbeak was named in his honor Hyporhamphus meeki.

"I'm Still in Shock Right Now": Meek Mill on His Probation Win and Onerous Legal Odyssey
Vanity Fair 04 Aug 2019
Meek Mill was running a little late for a press gathering on Wednesday ... Meek Mill ... I'm still in shock right now that it happened like that, 'cause I've been fighting so long to get to this position ... I'm still trying to take it in right now ... It's like, Meek Mill, I rap, I make music, but Meek Mill also speaks up and uses his platform too....


Yet another Earth Day…One in a few million, but the only one right now.
In celebrate of our planet, I want to share a moment of beauty as I was ending a King Ridge ride a couple days ago. Each day I try to take an image of the natural world as a practice, as a reminder… each day is an Earth Day.

Finest Food Stories is a collection of the world's most exceptional culinary experiences, as told by their equally captivating authors. We're a food-travel magazine designed for all of those who plan their travels around places to eat, instead of sights to see.

"Booming, unpretentious and imaginative, Leipzig's star is on the rise. The city's rebellious spirit, which often sees it heralded as "the new Berlin", is charged by young creatives who are bringing new concepts to life whilst remaining respectful of past traditions."
"From rare-beef pho to white beer ice cream, there's more to this multicultural city than sausages and potatoes (though they're pretty exceptional, too)."
"The legacy of the 20th century's most prominent art school doesn't just fade away, and especially not in Berlin."

"Thanks to 357,386 square kilometres of diversified terrain ranging from Baltic beaches to alpine lakes, as well as a highly decentralised nationwide mindset, you'll need to be prepared to travel if you want to taste modern German gastronomy at its heterogeneous and brilliant best."
"Most Koreans grew up with instant coffee sticks..."
"Fresh figs aplenty, almond blossoms, a long lineage of some of the world's most in-demand wines, and enough Michelin starred restaurants to count on both hands. You'd be forgiven, naturally, for assuming we're in French or Italy but no, we're on the German Wine Route (Deutsche Weinstraße)."
A chat with France's first (and only) female Master of Wine and founder of international RAW Wine fairs, about the present and future of natural wine.

EMBELIN
Meet the team! An introduction to the team and its passion.
Just experts, both experienced and young talents! We know what we are good at, and we want to do things the best way possible. Our team is waiting for the challenge of your project! Our strength is the capability to deliver total solutions, including not only software, but also electronics, mechanical design and user interface. We have both the HW and SW, and we know how to get products certified and manufactured.
Passion & Mission
Our passion is to connect everything! We love IoT and to offer our know-how to the device manufacturers so they can achieve connectivity and stay ahead of the competition. Our mission is to bring connectivity to customer's business and to do it even better than it's usually done.
We are always looking for new talents, no matter if you are new or experienced. Students are welcome! Whether your interest is in software or hardware development, please send us a free-form application. Tell us about yourself, your skills and what you would like to do within our team.
If you need to get your products connected, do not hesitate to contact us. Let's find out how to bring your business to the next level.
MAKING IOT BEFORE IT WAS COOL
We've been in the frontline of connectivity from the early beginning.
Accessing information from far away was totally different in the mid-90s when our company was established. There was a need to gather data from field equipment out of reach of networks – so we met our first client. The devices were not regular PC's, so conventional disks could not be used and memory sticks were not yet available. So we tackled our first challenge with an innovation. We made our own 16 kB serial port memory stick and a rugged end user terminal for data collection. Our company was then called SSE Simula Sormunen Engineering Oy. Years went by subcontracting for likes of Elektrobit, Nokia, just to mention a few. In 2010 we felt like its time to re-invent ourselves and "Embelin" was born.
At start Embelin still operated as R&D subcontractor for other SW and HW companies but the return to the roots was awaiting. There was an increasing need for data change between things and their users. Different devices, whether they are air conditioners at homes, systems in public transportation or vehicles auxiliary heaters, their owners and users had need to monitor and control the devices from distance. User friendly remote control systems were still missing in markets. Soon we started to develop solutions, where everything was integrated: user interface, software and hardware. At first they were SMS-based solutions, but soon we changed to server and web based technologies.
In 2011 a big change happened in Embelin's business route. We made a strategic decision to concentrate on our own IoT platform development instead of being subcontractor for others. The first commercially remarkable solution was REMUC. REMUC was a remote control system for cars' auxiliary heaters. REMUC turned to be a breakthrough success. It achieved a great popularity amongst mechanics, because of easy installation it was possible to install more heater systems in a day than what service shops were used to. In 2015 Webasto got in contact with us and before we knew it, Webasto ThermoConnect was born out of REMUC. Since that day we've continued successful cooperation with Webasto.
We continued to develop our platform which became the home of several new innovations, in-house projects as well as customer projects. A good example was a project we did for Proventia. They needed a system to collect emission data from buses and trucks in real time. We worked with Proventia to improve their emission system with our IoT platform into more than 3000 buses in UK and Germany. As a result, city authorities are now able to see the whole fleet's actual emission levels in real time and if, for example, nitrogen oxide levels in a bus seem to get over limits, immediately remove the bus from service.
We at Embelin are looking forward as an independent R&D house. We have an excellent platform for future IoT solutions. It gives us and our customers a strong and cost efficient basis for new coming connections.
We want to exceed customer's expectations, always. We are not content with mediocrity.

Maryland safety Deon Jones, former 4-star recruit, says he's entering transfer portal
By Baltimore Sun staff
Baltimore Sun |
Maryland redshirt junior safety Deon Jones is entering the NCAA transfer portal, he announced Thursday night on Twitter.
Jones, a former four-star recruit in the Class of 2017, started six games for the Terps in 2019, recording 34 tackles, one forced fumble and a pass breakup. The former Potomac High and Archbishop Carroll standout played in 11 games in 2018, finishing with 17 tackles, one tackle for loss and a forced fumble. He originally chose Maryland over Florida, Clemson, Florida State and Penn State, among others.
"I just want to take the time to thank GOD for blessing me with the talents to pursue my dreams as a football student-athlete. I want to thank my Mother, my family, and the rest of my support system for helping me make the best decision for my future. I would also like to thank the University of Maryland for giving me the opportunity to play Division-1 Football and pursue my education," Jones wrote on Twitter.
"To my brothers, I love y'all boys with all of my heart. The blood, sweat, and tears that we put into this program will never be forgotten. I have formed unbreakable relationships with y'all boys, and you will have my continued support forever. However, there are times in life when doing what's best requires you to make extremely difficult decisions."
The NCAA transfer portal was introduced in the fall of 2018 to allow players to make it known of their intention to transfer and for college coaches to see which players might be available to sign national letters of intent.
Jones is at least the eighth Terps player to transfer this offseason, joining quarterback Tyrrell Pigrome and the highly-touted twin brothers Breyon and Brandon Gaddy, among others.

Claudia Husemann Joins Markle Foundation as Senior Director, Strategic Communications and Public Engagement
New York, NY – Markle Foundation CEO and President Zoë Baird today announced the appointment of Claudia Husemann as Senior Director, Strategic Communications and Public Engagement. Husemann will be responsible for Markle's strategic communications and media relations initiatives and public engagement strategy. Markle is working to transform our labor market from one solely focused on traditional credentials, such as degrees and work history, to one rooted in the digital economy skills needed for jobs of the 21st century. It seeks to advance a modern labor market that aligns the skills of the workforce to the needs of employers, keeping American businesses competitive and giving American workers opportunities for quality jobs over the course of their lives.
Husemann joins Markle from Edelman, a leading global communications marketing firm, where she served as Executive Vice President with responsibility for one of Edelman's largest global accounts. She led the Edelman team delivering communications in the Americas, Europe, the Middle East and Africa, and Asia. Husemann previously was Group Head of the firm's New York Corporate Communications practice.
Before joining Edelman, Husemann led Hill+Knowlton Strategies' New York Corporate Practice after successfully establishing its New York Technology Practice. A graduate of Stanford University with a B.A. in International Relations, Husemann began her career more than 20 years ago in Silicon Valley, where she learned to first immerse herself in her clients' businesses in order to develop strategic communications campaigns to drive growth and strengthen their market positions.
"Claudia brings great capacity to achieve our critical mission at Markle. With the recent launch of our Rework America Task Force, we're aggressively pursuing opportunities for all Americans to thrive in the digital economy. We are pursuing a skills-based labor market that will unlock economic opportunity for job seekers, workers and businesses," said Markle CEO and President Zoë Baird. "Claudia has worked with some of the world's largest and most successful companies. She is smart, creative, and disciplined in her approach to communications. Her enthusiasm and expertise, particularly in using technology for communications, will help us achieve our mission of transforming the U.S. labor market for the 21st century digital economy. Claudia will also lead the communications efforts of Skillful both in Colorado and as we expand Skillful to engage with other states. I am delighted to welcome Claudia to the Markle Foundation and to our senior leadership team."
The Rework America Task Force, which brings together influential leaders from diverse backgrounds and experience, builds on the success of the Markle Foundation's Skillful initiative, which launched in Colorado in 2016 and focuses on empowering the nearly seven out of ten Americans who don't have a four-year college degree but have, or can learn, the in-demand skills needed in today's job market. Skillful provides data, tools, and resources that enable businesses to define the exact skills they seek, and turn those insights into a skills-based hiring process that allows workers to demonstrate and articulate the skills they can bring to an organization.
"The Markle Foundation, Skillful and the Rework America Task Force are addressing an issue critical to our nation's economic health, social fabric, and to individuals' well-being," said Husemann. "Markle is an important voice in a timely national conversation that can inspire action to meet the needs of all Americans. I'm excited to be part of it."
The Markle Foundation works to realize the potential of information technology as a breakthrough tool to address some of the nation's most challenging problems. Working as an operating foundation, Markle has participated in partnerships to build the systems that transform sectors, including creating the policy and technology architecture that has enabled improvements in healthcare, national security, and access to the Internet. Markle's priority today is to provide Americans with access to good jobs and enable people to prepare for today's rapidly changing digital economy, as articulated in its book America's Moment.

Q: Use of "no too bad". Does it make sense? Is the expression "no too bad" a valid expression in the following examples?
Let's suppose my daughter is gonna marry a guy who has some bad habits
like smoking and drinking occasionally but no really bad habits like using drugs
or gambling. Could I say:
He certainly is not the ideal husband for my daughter but at least
he's got no too bad habits.
Another example would be the phrase:
I don't know about you, but I've got no too bad memories from the time we lived
in South America.

A: As you are using it, the phrase no too bad almost sounds like an ironic negative and what you really mean is that you do have bad memories, or the husband does have bad habits.
You might instead use the phrase not so bad or not too bad, like so:

*

*He certainly is not the ideal husband for my daughter, but his [bad] habits aren't too bad.

*I don't know about you, but my memories from the time we lived in South America are not so bad.
You need to be careful here because there is a subtle difference between someone using "not so bad" to mean "bad, but not terrible" and using it to mean "good, but only slightly good." In spoken English the first meaning comes across if "so" is emphasized, while the second meaning comes across if "so" un-emphasized. If you ask someone how they are and they respond "Not so bad," it does not mean they are feeling poorly, only that they are not feeling wonderful. Conversely if they say "Not so great" that means they are doing worse than normal.
You can make your intention clearer by using the phrase is/are not terrible instead, but depending on how exactly this is said and the personality of the speaker this can sometimes fall into the same trap of actually meaning "marginally better than neutral" when you really want it to mean "marginally worse than neutral, but not as bad as it might be."
The best solution, if you want to be very clear about what you mean, is to say more:

*

*He's not the ideal husband for my daughter but his habits aren't too bad.

*I do have some bad memories from when we lived in South America, but they aren't as bad as yours.

A: Q. Use of "no too bad". Does it make sense?

*

*He certainly is not the ideal husband for my daughter but at least he's got no too bad habits.

*I don't know about you, but I've got no too bad memories from the time we lived in South America.

I would suggest No
With English being prevalent in some many locations is is hard for me to say that the following statement is correct everywhere, but
I believe you are mixing  no too bad with the idioms not too bad and not so bad Which have slightly different meanings.

Answer 1.
He certainly is not the ideal husband for my daughter but at least he's got no too bad habits.
Should be
He's certainly not the ideal son-in-law, but at least his habits are *"not too bad".*

Answer 2.
I don't know about you, but I've got no too bad memories from the time we lived in South America.
I would write
I don't know about you? but my memories, from when we lived in South America, are "not so bad".

not too bad
Fairly or mostly good; satisfactory. (Used primarily in conversation.)
not so bad
OK; fine. Usually said when something exceeds low expectations.

Ref The Free Dictionary- Idioms Not too bad;  Not so bad

Turning on the lights
Changing how teachers improve
"Electricity is such a fundamental need that so many other things are built on top of," said Richard Fahey, who is trying to bring electricity to Liberia, where only 2,000 homes in the nation of 4 million are hooked up to the electrical grid.
Harvard fellow brings electricity — and business — to Liberia
By Katie Koch Harvard Staff Writer
Date February 3, 2011 April 16, 2019
Despite the economic strides that many of its nations have made in recent years, Africa is still, in a literal sense, a dark continent. No country there represents this more clearly than Liberia, where only 2,000 homes in the nation of 4 million are hooked up to the electrical grid.
But where others see a problem too big to solve, Richard Fahey sees a hopeful future, and a burgeoning commercial market for solar energy.
"Liberia certainly is dark in terms of light, but not in human capital," said Fahey, a 2010 fellow of Harvard's Advanced Leadership Initiative.
This spring, Fahey will launch the Liberia Energy Network, a large-scale solar power project. If he reaches his goal of putting sun-powered lanterns in the hands of a million Liberians by next year, he will have proven, he said, that socially conscious industry can thrive in the impoverished nation.
Fahey, a retired environmental lawyer from Ohio and a Peace Corps volunteer in Liberia in the 1960s, had a chance to return to the fragile country in 2009. It was the first time he had visited since a 14-year civil war broke out in 1989.
"One of the things that struck me was how shattered the social and cultural institutions are," Fahey said. "The war did serious damage to the social order."
He did notice, however, that a surprising number of Liberians had cell phones. Estimates of the average Liberian's annual income hover around $220, but there was clearly a thriving market for first-world technology.
After the war, Fahey said, "so many people had to leave their traditional homelands and move to the cities. You have extended families now that are very distant from one another." Cell phones became a way to stay connected to the village community.
The cell phone is so valuable, in fact, that the average Liberian spends 25 percent of his or her income (roughly $48 a year) to charge it, according to Fahey's research. Because the vast majority of the country's homes lack electricity, Liberians travel to "electricity centers" that exact a high price in exchange for charging a phone.
That figure could be greatly reduced if Liberians had individual solar-powered lanterns capable of charging a phone, Fahey said. Luckily, several manufacturers produce combination lantern-phone chargers that cost roughly $45.
It's what Fahey calls "just-good-enough technology," a way to circumvent the expensive and unrealistic process of building a traditional energy grid. "That kind of investment is a very long way away," Fahey said. "Plus it's very old technology." With solar power, he reasoned, "the people could build their own grid."
Currently, the country's poor inhabitants use inefficient and environmentally unfriendly kerosene lamps to light their homes.
"Their lives effectively end at sundown," Fahey said. "And that has impacts for everyone." It's not uncommon, he said, to see children on sidewalks congregated around streetlights in the evening, trying to finish their homework by lamplight. Women and girls in particular are at a disadvantage, because they are often required to gather firewood or other fuel during the day and have no way to study at night, Fahey said.
In addition, dirty energy takes a toll on health. The World Health Organization estimates that 2 million people — 85 percent of them women and children — die annually from the air pollution caused by kerosene lamps and indoor cooking fires.
"Electricity is such a fundamental need that so many other things are built on top of," Fahey said.
While Liberia, in Fahey's words, "practically exists off foreign aid," the microfinance industry has just begun to penetrate the country. Fahey is working with an anthropologist in Liberia to research traditional savings groups, which many Liberians use to finance cell phone purchases, as a way to help consumers purchase solar lanterns. He has also hired Liberians to lead focus groups that are testing different styles of solar generators.
"We've been trying to tell others what we think the Liberians need rather than asking what they need," Fahey said. "This is giving them choices and thinking of them as consumers."
That attitude is crucial to any business's success, according to Michael Chu, a senior lecturer at Harvard Business School (HBS) who specializes in social enterprise and emerging markets, known in the B-school lexicon as "business at the base of the pyramid."
Chu emphasized the role a successful, self-sustaining business can play in an untested market like Liberia. Good businesses attract competitors, which can in turn bring long-term economic growth to a region.
"The big impact of applying commercial solutions [to poverty] is not that one successful firm that comes out of it," Chu said. "The big social payoff is that one great, successful business will create an industry."
Chu's ideas were among those Fahey absorbed at Harvard. The Advanced Leadership Initiative, now in its third year, offers late-career professionals the chance to audit courses across the University and prepare for new roles as leaders in the public sector, tackling social problems.
Harvard was "a good place to come retool and recalibrate," Fahey said. "I came here with a vague idea that would have looked a lot more like a traditional aid or development model. My thoughts have moved probably 180 degrees from that."
Like many of the initiative's fellows, Fahey is showing that "public good can also be carried out by for-profit companies," said Rosabeth Moss Kanter, HBS's Ernest L. Arbuckle Professor of Business Administration and the chair and director of the initiative.
"It's not a question of nonprofit or for-profit, private sector or public sector," she added. "We need more and better leaders in every sector, because the challenges and problems seem to be getting bigger and harder to solve."
Fahey will return to Liberia later this month to continue raising capital for the project. After a long career in law, he's energized by the thought of returning to the country he first tried to help as a newly minted college graduate.
"There are a lot of us who still have some tread left on the tires and really want to do something," he said of his generation. "You just can't play enough golf."
Professor of Education and Economics Tom Kane is head of the Measures of Effective Teaching Project, which has just released study findings that indicate students are very much in tune with who is effective at the front of their classrooms. "The study shows that kids perceive big differences in teachers, and those differences are related to student achievement gains," he said.

John Legend: This busker was singing one of his hits. Little did she know that he was in the audience
Radha Rao, 22, regularly performs at Faneuil Hall in Boston and Legend's song All Of Me is a regular part of her two-hour set.

A busker in the US had a chance encounter with John Legend - while singing his hit song All Of Me.
The Grammy winner was visiting Faneuil Hall in Boston with his family before his concert on Sunday night when he stopped to watch street performer Radha Rao.
The singer was performing his hit song and impressed Legend enough for him to leave her a tip and give her a hug.
A post shared by Radha (@radhamusic_)
The 22-year-old didn't recognise him at first - he was wearing a mask and she didn't know he was in Boston.
Ms Rao, who has grown up in Boston and spent some time living in Hyderabad, India, told Sky News that "it was a wonderful surprise".
"It was something I didn't expect at all but it was a wonderful surprise to have. It's not common that you happen to be singing an idol's song and he's there. It was a special experience," she said.
While the singer, who recently graduated from Boston University, was nervous when she spotted Legend, she said she kept singing.

"I am a big fan and he is a big inspiration. I am going to always continue to sing that song. It's a fan favourite and one of my favourites. That memory will continue to help me perform," she said.

Ms Rao said Legend expressed his sentiments to her music and voice, and he also thanked her for singing his song.
The song is a regular part of her two-hour set at Faneuil Hall, after trying her hand at street performing for the first time in August because she wanted a new experience that was spontaneous and colourful.
While Ms Rao is a relative newbie to street performing, she has been singing from a young age - drawing on the influences of her Indian heritage.

Her mother is a classical trained Indian singer and she uses influences from that on her music, which she describes as western with an Indian fusion.
Since graduating from university, Ms Rao works full-time at a music tech company and spends her spare time gigging and making music, which she says is her "true passion".


The EU Energy Efficiency Directive requires all Member States to introduce a programme of regular energy audits for 'large enterprises'. Audits must be undertaken by 5 December 2015, and then at least every four years. Government believes that the ESOS will offer a significant opportunity for the UK. It is intended to drive the take-up of cost-effective energy efficiency measures benefiting their competitiveness and contributing to the wider growth agenda.
The Energy Savings Opportunity Scheme is the UK Government's approach to implementing this requirement. Under the scheme, approved assessors will carry out compliant ESOS assessments to identify energy saving recommendations in the 7,300 organisations covered by the scheme.
From 2015 every organisation or business with over 250 employees will have to audit their energy consumption and identify energy saving measures. They will have to repeat the exercise every four years.
According to Greg Barker, the energy minister, this will "help to drive the take-up of cost effective energy measures by participants" and doing so will "benefit their competitiveness and contribute to the wider growth agenda."
What will be the effect of the ESOS?
The ESOS will require energy audits – but will not require any other actions to be taken.
The intention is to encourage organisations to focus on their energy use and on opportunities for energy saving.
The ESOS energy audits are expected to identify energy cost saving opportunities of £31 billion. What percentage will be implemented?
With 50% of energy use in the UK being employed in buildings, largely for heating, cooling and lighting, there is a strong steer for businesses to consider heat recycling which can be achieved by employing Interseasonal Heat Transfer.
Would you like help to identify energy saving opportunities?
If you have a large energy bill then an energy audit from ICAX may help you identify significant saving opportunities. Please contact us on 020 7 253 2240 or email us.


Toronto artists Joseph Shabason (the sax player from Destroyer's Kaputt) and Kieran Adams team with vocalist Carmen Elle to craft a promising debut filled with woozy electro-pop. It's a vibe-heavy record that also offers some surprisingly strong hooks.
Let's address the chillwave thing first-- yes, there are a lot of aquamarine environments to get lost in on Perpetual Surrender, and yes, it's unafraid of pushing Elle's vocals so deep into the mix that it sounds like she's singing from the other side of a wall, but it does so with a panache that never forgets that this sort of thing can also knock the air out of your stomach when done right. A lot of the credit goes to Leavens, who proves himself an instinctive producer that knows when to keep adding and when to pull back and let things breathe. "Foreign Installation", for instance, is shrouded in a pre-dawn fog that calcifies into a black mass of a chorus before dissipating back into a fine mist. And then there's "Strange Attraction", where clanging percussion leads the way forward as much as the track's approaching-storm bass. He even manages to help turn the saxophone solo of the title track into one of the album's most rewarding moments, earning it with a keen ear for structure that finds the band more often than not placing sounds where they'll achieve maximum impact.
An emphasis on lower frequencies gives Perpetual Surrender a surprising heft in addition to its lush Balearic sprawl; it ends up a sturdier incarnation of a sound often charged with lacking bite. There are basslines that not only approach funky but actually deserve the adjective, producing a physicality that only someone who knows just how valuable a rhythm section can be to a band is capable of conjuring. When DIANA clear everything out, they're just as effective: "New House" is the album's sparsest moment, consisting of nothing more than moaning floorboards and intermittent bass, and it shines the spotlight on an affecting vocal performance from Elle, who effortless toggles between been-hurt-before reticence ("Am I just another thing to use, grow tired of, and throw away?") and empathetic reassurance ("Baby, I know you're terrified"). It bowls you over with gentle-but-firm encouragement.
As much credit as DIANA deserve for their ability to create texture, Perpetual Surrender is first and foremost a pop record, and it's most successful when it plays up this ambition. Its songs-- mostly tales of romantic uncertainty aimed inward rather than outward-- were all written by Shabason and Adams, who have a knack for large earwormy hooks. The type of vocalist whose voice actually sounds better the harder it's pushed, Elle imbues these songs with a lived-in intimacy that belies the fact she didn't have a hand in penning them herself. "Now's the time for believing/ Lay your hands on me, I need healing" she sings on "Born Again", bestowing carnal relations with the power of spiritual purification. It's the album's best song, possessing a widescreen romanticism that the rest of the album can't quite duplicate elsewhere. A general wobbliness pervades the album, and there are places where it might benefit DIANA to zoom further out and sharpen their focus. Case in point: the album-closing instrumental "Curtains" is entirely inessential, aiming for epic but barely achieving consciousness.
This sense that DIANA are still figuring out how to best fit together the pieces they've got to work with serves as a reminder that Perpetual Surrender is a debut record-- a very compelling one, but a debut nonetheless. Now that Elle is a full-time member, it will be interesting to hear how their eventual follow-up differs in its songwriting, given that she does wonders with the material here. There are enough explosive moments to suggest that DIANA have another gear to explore.
